WARNING - ALL LITTLE WONDER EDGERS ARE SHIPPED WITHOUT OIL. WHEN FILLING OIL -

Use SAE 30 Oil. R

FOR PROPER ENGINE OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

A. BEFORE STARTING

1. Place Edger on level surface; be sure blade

is not obstructed and the area is clear and free of

bystanders. Your Edger is equipped with a Honda

4-cycle engine.

2. Check oil level, and be sure crankcase is filled

with oil.

3. Fill gas tank with fresh gas. Do not mix gas with

oil.

NOTE: Refer to Honda Operating and Maintenance

Instructions for recommended grades of oil and gas.

4 For easier starting, remove belt tension by pulling

up the belt slackener lever (P/N 167-2).

B. STARTING PROCEDURE

1. For easier starting, remove belt tension by pulling

up the belt slackener lever (P/N 167-2).

2. Prior to starting the engine, secure and hold the

edger handle with your left hand.

3. Refer to your Engine Operator/Owner Manual for

Engine Starting Instructions.

4. Once the engine starts, set the throttle control

lever to desired speed.

NOTE: A warm engine requires less choking than a

cold engine.

C. STOP PROCEDURE

1. Pull throttle lever towards you to STOP position.

2. Turn engine switch to OFF position.

D. CAUTION

1. Do not change the

engine governor settings or overspeed the engine.

2. If the product vibrates abnormally, immediately

stop the engine and check for the cause. Vibration is

generally a warning sign of trouble.

3. Stop the engine whenever you leave the operating

position; disconnect the spark plug lead wire before

unclogging the unit, when making a repair, adjust-

ment, inspection or the like.

4. Operate machine from position where guards

block the line of sight to the cutting member.

E. OPERATING

1. Eye protection must be worn at all times. Use

common sense and exercise caution at all times when

operating your Edger.

2. Operate in a safe manner. When edging, the

potential exists for thrown objects which can cause

injury (i.e.) from rocks, cement, pieces of steel, glass,

etc. These obstructions should be avoided at all times.

3. Never leave the machine when the engine is run-

ning, particularly on hills where the unit might roll.

4. Setting depth of blade. (1) Place left hand on

upper handle. (2) Grasp lever, P/N 228, with right

hand and pull to the right, which disengages lever

from rachet segment on handle. Move lever forward

or backward along rachet segment and insert key on

lever into notch on rachet at the desired depth.

Moving lever forward decreases depth of cut, moving

lever backward increases depth of cut.

6. Engine speed - The engine speed should be kept

to the minimum consistent with the job at hand.

Speeds higher than necessary will only cause undue

wear and tear. A speed half-way between "fast" and

"slow" is normally adequate. Tougher jobs may

require higher speeds.

7. Little Wonder Edgers provide the finishing touch.

They edge at any angle along flower beds, terraces,

sidewalks and curbs. They trim along buildings,

trees, walks, marker hedges and fences with ease

and reliability.

8. Edging - The blade should be perpendicular to

the ground or sidewalk. The cutting depth should

be sufficient to cut away the root system, usually 1”

to 1 1/2" deep. Along flush sidewalks or driveways,

it is easier to place the wheels on the sidewalk or

driveway rather than the grass. The hardened tool

steel blade, P/N 129, becomes its own guide if it is

permitted to rub against the side or edge of the side-

walk or driveway. Angles other than vertical my be

desirable when edging flower beds, walls, posts, etc.

When edging along a curve, the rear wheels should

be held off the ground so the machine may be maneu-

vered "wheelbarrow fashion."

1. Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight.

2. Never store the machine filled with fuel inside a

building or in a confined space where fumes may be

susceptible to sparks or an open flame.

3. Refer to the instructions manual for important

details if the product is to be stored for an extended

period of time.

4. Check the tightness of the blade nut prior to each

use.

5. Prior to each use, lubricate cutter head shaft

(P/N 131), cutter head bracket (P/N l00-C), and key

(P/N 138) at slip rotation points every 8 hours

6. Prior to each use, check to see that set screws on

pulley are tight, and guards are in place.

NOTE: The belt guard is an important safety feature

and is vital to the proper operation of the edger.

7. Grease cutter head every 25 hours. Use Lithium

#0 grease (P/N 4042). Add grease until grease starts

to squeeze through the bearing.

Loose set screws can cause

damage to shaft and pulley.

Improper maintenance will void warranty.

USER MAINTENANCE

INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: The engine on your Pro Honda

Edger is not equipped with a spark arrester and

if machine is to be used on any forest-covered,

brush-covered, or grass-covered unimproved

land, before using on such land a spark arrester

must be added to the muffler. The arrester must

be maintained in effective working order by the

operator. In the State of California, the above is

required by law (Section 4442 of the California

Public Resources Code). Other states may have

similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal

lands. See your Authorized Honda Service

Center for spark arrester muffler options.

CAUTION

NOTE: The belt guard is vital to the proper

operation of the edger. The belt guard is not just

a safety feature!
